Condominium must cover gutter repairs and related flooring work

Condominium must cover gutter repairs and related flooring work

A resident asked how to divide the cost of repairing a shared rainwater gutter beneath the floor of a private loggia, or balcony.

The repair requires removing and replacing part of the flooring.

The guidance says the gutter serves the whole building, so it is a shared part of the condominium.

The condominium must therefore pay for the repair and the related work, including removing the floor, repairing the pipe and laying tiles again.

The cost is divided among all owners according to their ownership shares.

If tiles identical to the originals are not available, the condominium must pay to replace the entire floor.

This approach is intended to restore the private property and protect its appearance and value.
